    They didn’t indicate they had Israeli support, the news article didn’t say it, and then Israeli government didn’t

    But that’s immaterial, everything has risk. Everything. You might have a heart attack in the next 30 seconds. It’s just part of life. We do what we can within our bounds.

    Pointing out that hamas is lying about needing Israeli permission to release hostages shouldn’t be a strong political take we have to debate forever.

        Hamas does not need Israeli cooperation to release people to third party organizations within the Gaza strip

        Pointing out the hamas’s lying when they say they’re not getting Israeli cooperation and they can’t do the thing they just demonstrated they can do, is a requirement of every critical thinker.
